Starbuck Crater

Starbuck Crater (76°1′S 133°11′W) is a small snow-filled crater at the base of the west slope of the Mount Bursey massif in Marie Byrd Land.

History

Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for James E. Starbuck of the Bartol Research Foundation, who studied cosmic rays at the South Pole Station in 1970.

gollark: It gets equivocated to mean so many things, like "respect"; it is more of a fuzzy label for a set of related concepts than a precise technical definition.
gollark: Not sure it's their fault. Consciousness is just tricky.
